I earned passive income and contributed to the slow erosion of authentic human culture by using LLMs to generate an endless stream of shit. Find out how you can too 👇.
I'm 27. I published 1,500 books on Amazon and made $3M. But I wish someone had told me these 7 brutal truths at the beginning. 🧵. 1/ Stop writing interesting books.

@xhascrapmods @crowfry @yacineMTB "some guy was fired in 2017 over something he wrote and shared at work" is your best, singular piece of evidence?.

My Sony headphones updated yesterday and asked me to agree to allow them to track what I listen to, when, timestamps etc. This shit should be illegal.

I tell myself "OK, you get it wrong every time. So just do the opposite of what you think is right". And I'm still wrong! Linus you sly dog lmao.

I think Linus was fucking with us when he decided on the definitions of "ours" and "theirs" in git. I get it wrong every time.

"We've heard from scifi people about doing shopping and library work from home. Is this the start of that development?". "It could be. A telephone could be another stage. In which case the viewer could dial for info. Then you wouldn't be restricted". From these humble beginnings.
#OnThisDay 1974: CEEFAX - the world's first teletext service - went live, with a whopping 30 pages of information at your fingertips. In 1972, David Wilson chatted to project lead Stanley Edwardson about this newfangled service, and got a sneak peak at a CEEFAX prototype.

That'll get you more than a few lambos.
I'm excited to announce that Laravel has raised a $57M Series A in partnership with Accel. I believe that Laravel is the most productive way to build full-stack web applications, and Laravel Cloud will be the platform for shipping those applications that this community deserves.

React adds a new type of colouring to functions. You have normal, async, and hooks. It is familiarity that makes this feel like "Just JavaScript" vs other frameworks.
Can we all agree in 2024 that "Just JavaScript" is the most ridiculous statement one can make about a JavaScript framework?. Everything is just JavaScript and everything is a whole lot more. You pick these tools for the abstraction, meaning the ship has already sailed.

The fanboys don't want you to discuss the downsides of tools they like. The haters don't want you to discuss the upsides of tools they dislike. But it's useful to be able to do both of these things.
I get the sense that some people don’t like when others complain about technology online. I understand that perspective, but at some point you have to realize that when someone’s complaining about tech it’s because they have wasted hours with some pitfall or confusion typically.

Correct, but probably not for the reasons he thinks. I usually end up working through lunch and overshoot 5pm.
I’ve yet to meet one person who works from home that actually works from 9am to 5pm with a 30 minute lunch in-between with the occasional bathroom break.
